The reports of numerous death

 uring the recent heated term, brins'
 S to realize the rare blessings of eli
 nate which we here enjoy. These ausalitics of the oppressive Eastrrl
 limate, also furnish an explanation ot he great exodus of people to the Pa life coast, for rough hew the matter Is you may, it is climate that is at Bracting the thousands, and it Is eli mate which puts the marvellous F.ric' s bn the Southern California rcul estate. Those who have suffered for years from the eccentricities of Eastern summer and winter weather are only too will ing to pay fancy prices for "climate." " Yuma has long held the reputation Of possessing the hottest climate Tn the United States; but she is gradually loosing that reputation, as it is begin ming to dawn upon the minds of those . who have given the matter intelligent thought and investigation, that othe: places that are reckoned among tie choice spots of creation, suffer more oppressive heat than Yuma, and not wishstanding the altitude which the mercury sometimes attains, the effects of the heat upoa the individual are far less depressing than in many iocalitlrs where the mercury does not rise so high. This is accounted for by the almost entire absence of humidity in the atmosphere. This promotes rapid evaporation which has a tendency to keep the body coel. And hence sun strokes are entirely unknown, and la borers pursue their usual avocations day by day with no injurious effects. Of Yuma's climate and itseftcts, Dr. A. NJ. Loryea, of the Hammam Baths, San Francisco, says:
 Having travelled all over the world to investigate the effect of heat upon the human body in health and disease; my experiences and experiments in Yuma, Arizona, resulted more favorl- ply than at any other place, and l can safely say that its climate is superior to that of any other spot OF tn" American continent for the cure of Bright's disease of the kidneys, con- sumption, rheumatism and neuralg;r. While the heat Is high, as exhibited by ths thermometer, yet from the dry hess of the air one does not feel op pressed, and breathes easily, and can, by using the proper means, keep in a most comfortable condition. Another great disi1eEatum of the climate of Yuma is the complete absence of ma laEa, thus afording every quality nee esslry to entitle it to the name of the great ssnitarium of the North Ameri can continent. My friend, the disfin guished surgeon of this coast, Dr. A. F. Sawyer, has been in the habit Of sending there his patients afflicted vi h the diseases I have named, and is perfectly satisfied with the results; many having recovered their health, and all finding relief from th*ir symp toms. It is nuture's Turkish bath snd will relieve many of the thousand ills that flesh is heir to-"
 Thus as time wears along, the sum mer weather of Yaml is beginning to loose its terrors, and even to, otf," charms found in few other places in the world. The evenings are glorious: nowhere else in America are such sun sets and twilights; witness the dark green foliage of the ''Pride of India or other rare tropic tree, wavine dreamily in the ceol, soft gnlf-breeze, against the gold2n, twilight sky, which, fecked here and there with feecy clouds, seems liquid sea of gold witl phantom ships floating upon its quie- bosom. Yes, even the summers il. Yuma are fall of exquisite charms.
 As to the winters, it may truly h, said that he who comes to Yuma leaves winter behind. Winter" here is a season of ethereal mildness, of which it m ly well be said, it is neither cold nor ho; e Hess skies; warn sunlight aoodin. the whole land; no fogs, no frosts nos damp chilling winds; golden mean as it were, betweeen the tropic and th temperate. J. Ross Browne says. "The climate in winter is finer than that c. Italy. It woufI scarcely be possible n Su J1aSt an innrovaOant I nevpl
